Today’s green investment is tomorrow’s emission reduction — models must grasp this
How ignoring the dynamics of the energy transition leads to overestimating transition cost and unjustified delay of climate action.
Sheets of carbon nanotubes come in a rainbow of colors
A new model helped researchers create a “nanotube color atlas”, which they use to predict the specific colors of 466 different single‐wall carbon nanotubes, revealing a broad spectrum of potentially achievable colors.
Artificial chemist 2.0
AI and robotics meet fluidics to accelerate materials development, allowing researchers to create quantum dots in under an hour.
New database to accelerate innovation in emerging photovoltaics
Researchers publish an up-to-date and easy-to-access platform with a global scope.
Paul Meredith: “I’ve never seen what I do as work”
The Swansea-based materials physicist talks about the role of energy materials in mitigating climate change, his love of sports, and how his passion for science helps it to blend seamlessly into his life.
